Join us for an inspiring afternoon of art and exploration across Brandeis University! Begin your journey at the Kniznick Gallery with an artist-guided tour of C. Rose Smith: A Silent Rage. The exhibition brings together Smith’s arresting black-and-white photographs taken on location at Southern plantations and Northern textile mills, both sites complicit in the economy of slavery. By inhabiting the preserved living spaces of enslavers, Smith inserts their body in scenes dominated by whiteness and predatory industry. As both maker and subject, Smith reclaims and memorializes the formerly enslaved.
From there, we’ll walk together to the Rose Art Museum and discuss highlights from Danielle Mckinney: Tell Me More, an exhibition of sumptuous, meditative paintings that explore Black womanhood, illuminating resilience, beauty, and autonomy. Mckinney offers a bold and transformative vision of leisure, pleasure, and the rhythmic rituals of the everyday, viewed through a female gaze. Attendees will also have the opportunity to view the Rose’s other fall exhibitions, Fred Wilson: Reflections and Fabricated Imaginaries.
